Bring Debian 9 / Stretch to Plesk 17.5
Basically we shouldn't have to wait 3/4 of a year after Debian 9 was released in order to get Plesk to install on it (expected release date of Spring 2018), not when earlier versions have been far more prompt...
Debian 6 was released 6/2/2011 and Plesk 10.2.0 (with Debian 6 support) was released 6/4/2011... 59 days later.
Debian 7 was released 4/5/2013, Plesk 11.5.30 Update 3 (with Debian 7 support) was released 5/7/2013... 62 days later.
Debian 8 was released 26/4/2015, Plesk 12.5.30 (with Debian 8 support) was released 31/8/2015... 127 days later.
Debian 9 was released 17/6/2017, Plesk 17.8 (with Debian 9 support) might be released 1/3/2018... 257 days later!!!

Unfortunately this time Debian release occured after our major release in 2017 has been already shipped. As you noticed, previous Debian releases were in spring, so it matched our own release schedule quite well in the past and thus gap was short.
We generally add new OSes in new major releases to high volume of work required. So we will gladly add Debian 9 support into the next release, but we cannot afford interruption solely for Debian 9 support.

Its pretty sad that Plesk starts working on supporting a new distribution release only after it has been released. Debian 9 has been in testing state for 2 years. 2 years in which the Plesk team could work on supporting Plesk 9.
Debian 9 has been in freeze for 6 months.
